This may come from ignorance because it was my first experience staying in a hostel. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I had booked a private room. The room was nice. There were fresh towels provided. I wasn't sure if the sheets were clean. They were definitely holey. As I had been traveling around staying in hotels, I didn't... More

Literally only there for 8 hours as we checked in late and departed early but from what we saw it seemed nice. Was clean and a lot quieter than you would expect of a hostel. Rooms were adequate, however the towels were unusually small (more like bath mats). Staff were friendly and in an expensive city was good value for... More

We don't normally do the hostel thing, but opted to stay here for the first two days of our two week honeymoon in Switzerland. We don't regret it! Matter of fact we wonder why we don't do this more often! We got a private room for two. The linens were soft, showers hot with plenty of pressure and the place... More

A smart, clean and central hostel with friendly and helpful staff. I stayed here on my first visit to Geneva and couldn't fault it. There is a nice bright reception area and I had a private room with two single beds to myself - perfectly clean and comfortable night sleep. The bathroom directly across the hall meant it was practically... More

I stayed here in August 2012 with my sister. We stayed for 2 nights and this place was perfect for what we needed. We booked a 2 bed private room which was quite small but has everything you need. The toilet/shower areas are clean, as is the kitchen. It is about a 5 minute walk from the train station. We... More

I came to City Hostel for one night, needing a cheap base in the centre of the City. The hostel is very conveniently located, about 5 minutes walk from the Central Station. Saying that, it is in quite a scummy area, full of cheap kebab shops. I stayed in a four bed dormitory. They gave me clean sheets, a small... More

Location is just perfect... a few blocks from the Gare Cornavin, close to the tram stop -useful if heading to the UN like me- and surrounded by eating places of different nature. I stayed in a room for single use. It was extremely basic -no frills whatsoever-. The bathrooms were outside -I believe two or four per floor-. There were... More
